托福口语语速如何把握
新托福口语中的各个词的分量不尽相同,有的起着关键的作用;段落是由句子构成的,然而同一段落中的各个句子的分量也是不尽相同的,今天小编给大家带来了托福口语语速如何把握,希望能够帮助到大家,一起来学习吧。
托福口语语速如何把握
一般而言,对于关键词和关键句应该慢读,做到充分理解,牢牢把握;而对非关键词和非关键句应加快阅读速度,留出多于时间,用以反复阅读重点句或归纳总结。例子如下:
例1:
A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that seems so ordinary that the people in the society think they are not significant.
在读的过程中我们很容易找到关键词,如:cultural anthropology, the special and strange aspects of life, but, anthropologists, interested, ordinary, significant。这些关键词反映了此句的主要信息:"许多人认为文化人类学就是研究特殊而奇怪的社会现象,但人类学家有时还对一些人们认为不重要的、看起来很普通的生活现象感兴趣。"通过分析关键词,我们又发现"but"这个具有转折意义的连接词,它向我们显示了此句的后半句才是整个句子的核心部分,它提示我们阅读时应更加留心阅读后半句的关键词,提炼关键信息。因此,我们可以很肯定地确认此句最重要的意义应该是:"Anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life so ordinary that people don’t think they are significant."并且也可以很肯定地预测,如有下文,也一定是就后半句所反映的核心信息继续论述,而不是前半句的。这样,在阅读时,我们就会把目光把注意力更加有目的地集中在后半句的关键词上,而对那些附加修饰、说明的部分,如:修饰people的a lot of 、in the society就可以快速阅读,甚至略去不读,因为它并不影响我们对中心意思的理解与把握。
例2:
Smell and Memory
Scientists are producing an increasing number of findings on the links between smell and memory. The most prominent scientist in this field is Dr. Alan Hirsch, a US neurologist who specializes in the treatment of patients who have lost their sense of smell or taste. He believes that the memories that certain smells bring back to people are not actually as important as the emotions that are associated with the smells. He also argues that our minds filter these emotions in a positive way, making past times seem better than they perhaps were.
首先,我们注意到这个段落的题目是"Smell and Memory",我们从题目中还得知了中心思想。因此我们可以得知本段主要论述的应是smell and memory之间的联系,由此找到了关键词语"the links between smell and memory"(在段首),而能说明它们之间关系的句子又是最后一句。所以,这个段落的核心信息是:"Some smells remind us of a previous thing in a way that is better than the real experience."由此判定,本段的首尾部分都需细心地、稍慢地阅读,而对"最著名的;专门治疗何种病人的"这样相对次要的句子就可以加快阅读速度。
托福口语:间接转述的技巧
1.间接转述(Indirect Speech)
口语复述的实质是将听到的和看到的话语用自己的话以口头方式再转达出来。“直接引述”是直接引用说话人的原话,而要用自己的话把别人的意思转述出来就称为“间接转述”。托福口语考试中一般应采用“间接转述”的方法:针对特定问题,用自己的话把读到、听到的对话内容或演讲内容再重复出来。对考生来说,这当然是一个更高层次的要求。因为,首先要听得懂、读得懂别人的观点,其次才能在此基础上进行加工处理,变为自己的语言再陈述出准确意思来。这时候,“善于把别人的东西据为己有”就不再是一个“恶劣的行径”了。此时此刻,它将转化为一个极为有效的、甚至是高效的手段,以此来达到“借鸡下蛋”的目的。
请看下面几例:
例1:My mother said: “I’m so tired that I don’t want to cook. Shall we eat out tonight?”
My mother said that she was so tired that she didn’t want to cook and she suggested that we should eat out that day.
例2:Tom said: “I’ve already seen the film.”
Tom said that he had already seen the film.
间接转述应注意以下几点规则:
⑴ 在转述的引语前一般要用连词that:(如例1、例2所示);
⑵ 要根据意思改变人称(如例4所示);
⑶ 当要转述的言语为连贯的话语时,应用go on(继续),continue(接着),add(补充)等,以及各种引述动词,如:note(指明),remark(谈及)
⑷ 间接转述不是重复原话,因此,时态要有所变动。一般来讲,现在时变为过去时,过去时变为过去完成时。指示代词、地点及时间状语也要作必要改动。这种改动大致可参照下表进行。
2.释义、意译(Paraphrasing)
Paraphrase (to express in a shorter or clearer way what someone has written or said) 就是用你所知道的,或者对你来说较容易的词汇、短语、以及语法去解释那些较为难懂的语句。
3.概述(Summarizing)
Summarize (to make a short statement giving only the main information and not the details of a plan, event, report, etc.) 就是用简练话语概括描述一篇材料的中心思想。
